The Secret of Drawing – another masterpiece from the category of “unknown BBC and Co”. Movies like How Music Works and BBC Design Rules. The film is not about how to learn to draw. It’s about the phenomenon of drawing. About its role in culture, in individual lives and in society.
Continuing the idea of Betty Edwards, the authors show that the painting – it is a skill, like reading and writing. And that, in different situations, it can play an equally important role in human life and in the development of culture.
The film consists of 4 episodes:
Episode 1: The Line of Enquiry (Drawing in knowledge)
The first episode shows the role played by drawing in the field of science and research. Begins with an example which illustrates the role of drawing in the work of the surgeon. In fact – a few lines on paper, a team of surgeons is much faster and more accurate exchange of information than words. Then, in the episode shows the anatomical drawings of Leonardo Da Vinci, who played in the development of anatomy is not less important than any book on medicine. Then pictures of horses that have been made so carefully that a few centuries before Darwin was led to the idea of evolution. Etc.
Andrew looks at artists who have chosen the natural world as their subject matter and explores how drawing has helped man to understand his place in the universe. The programme covers the Rennaissance, the Eastern way, Turner, Constable and contemporary artists Anthony Gormley and Richard Long.
Episode 2: Storylines (Drawing in the story)
The episode involves a drawing function as the transfer of the plot. Starting with paintings by artists, depicting more than one subject and not just one time, and the whole plot, and ending with comic books and storyboards in a Hollywood production. One of those – a unique opportunity to transfer the content of the picture. As an example – a comic about the Holocaust. At first glance – the subject is impossible to present in this genre. But the author replaces figures Nazis cats, and the figures of prisoners – mice. The content takes new, unusual shape, keeping the drama “Schindler’s List” and komiksovoy style “Tom and Jerry”.
Drawing has always been an essential tool for the telling of stories. Andrew looks at the satire of Gillray, Goya and Hogarth and its influence on photojournalism, American comics, Japanese Manga and Hollywood storyboards today.
Episode 3: All in the Mind (Drawing in our minds)
The episode is dedicated to the question: “Why do we draw this way (as we draw)”. Opinion of teachers drawing scientific opinion-physiologists, that scan mogz and eye movement while drawing. It was long thought that the history of civilization does not exceed six thousand years (from written sources). Ancient as hunters – were primitive creatures, led by instinct. But to reduce the Altamira cave paintings have been found that are more than 15 thousand years with excellent quality. Then shown pictures of 5-year-old girl, which is also visible manner similar images of animals. From children’s drawings episode goes to the pictures of Picasso. In those and other shows many similarities. In the words of Picasso – when he was 5 years old, he wanted to learn to draw like Raphael. But then he had to spend the rest of my life to learn how to draw again the way it turned out in 5 years.
Andrew investigates drawing as a primal human instinct and a learned discipline, looking at the earliest cave drawings and the work of David Hockney and Picasso. The programme uses the latest developments in cognitive science to examine why we draw the way we do.
